Galatians 6

1 My brethren, if one of you should be overtaken in a fault, do ye who are of the Spirit recover him, in a spirit of meekness: and be ye cautious, lest ye also be tempted.

Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also fall into temptation.

2 And bear ye one another's burdens, that so ye may fulfill the law of the Messiah.

Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.

3 For if any one thinketh himself to be something, when he is not, he deceiveth himself.

For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody when he is nobody, he is deluding himself.

4 But let a man examine his own conduct; and then his glorying will be within himself, and not in others.

But let every man scrutinize his own conduct, and then he will find out, not with reference to another but with reference to himself, what he has to boast of.

5 For every man must take up his own load.

For every man will have to carry his own load.

6 And let him that heareth the word, communicate to him who instructeth him, in all good things.

But let those who receive instruction in Christian truth share with their instructors all temporal blessings.

7 Do not mistake; God is not deceived; for what a man soweth, that also will he reap.

Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

8 He who soweth in the flesh, reapeth from the flesh corruption: and he who soweth in the Spirit, will from the Spirit reap life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

He who sows in the field of his lower nature, will from that nature reap destruction; but he who sows to serve the Spirit will from the Spirit reap the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)

9 And while we do what is good, let it not be wearisome to us; for the time will come when we shall reap, and it will not be tedious to us.

Let us not abate our courage in doing what is right; for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint.

10 Now, therefore, while we have the opportunity, let us practice good works towards all men, and especially towards them of the household of faith.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us labour for the good of all, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

11 Behold, this epistle have I written to you with my own hand.

See in what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

12 They who are disposed to glory in the flesh, they urge you to become circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted on account of the cross of the Messiah.

All who desire to display their zeal for external observances try to compel you to receive circumcision, but their real object is simply to escape being persecuted for the Cross of Christ.

13 For not even they themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law: but they wish you to become circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

For these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they may glory in your bodies.

14 But as for me, let me not glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

But as for me, God forbid that I should glory in anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

15 For circumcision is nothing; neither is uncircumcision; but a new creation.

For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only a renewed nature.

16 And they who press forward in this path, peace be on them, and mercy; and on the Israel of God.

And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle--may peace and mercy be given to them--and to the true Israel of God.

17 Henceforth let no one put trouble upon me; for I bear in my body the marks of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

From this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master.

18 My brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, be with your spirit. Amen.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits, brethren. Amen.
